Here’s some great footage of psychedelic San Francisco nearly-men, Moby Grape, and their wild leader, Skip Spence, on US TV in 1967.
Here’s some wonderful psychedelic artefacts for you from the archive of Nigel Waymouth and Michael English, aka Hapshash & The Coloured Coat.
It was in 1966 at legendary London psych club UFO that Waymouth – the then owner of hippie clothes emporium Granny Takes A Trip – first met English. As Hapshash & The Coloured Coat they combined avant-garde and art nouveau styles to become one of the most prolific underground poster teams of the decade.
A new exhibition in London is set to celebrate Nigel Waymouth’s creations. Takes a Trip: the sixties work of Nigel Waymouth runs September 9 - October 2, 2011 at the Idea Generation Gallery. For more information visit www.ideageneration.co.uk.
